Instructions
0 Pat dry the chicken on both sides. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside. 1 In a large bowl, combine the garlic, onion, paprika, lemon juice, and harissa. Add the chicken and toss to combine. 2 Cover the bowl with stretch film and refrigerate for an hour or overnight if you have the time. 3 Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you are ready to grill. 4 If cooking on a gas grill: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F. Once hot, scrape the grates and generously coat them with olive oil. 5 If cooking on a charcoal grill: Light the charcoal and let it burn until the coals are covered with white ash for about 20-30 minutes. Spread the coals evenly at the bottom. Right before grilling, grease the grill grates with olive oil. 6 Place the chicken thighs, topped with some onions, on the grate without overlapping. 7 Cover and grill for 6 minutes on each side (for a total of 12 minutes) or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken thigh reaches 165 degrees F. 8 Remove and place on a clean plate or platter, loosely tenting with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes. 9 If preferred, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.View original recipe
